His first start featured a 100.5 mph heater and five-plus hitless innings. He quickly signaled that the Brewers had something special in their rotation. Misiorowski followed up with a near-perfect game in Minnesota and a memorable duel against Pittsburgh Pirates phenom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/skenepa01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-07-12_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul Skenes<\/a>.
